When Lin Yi was about to clear away the bowls, he wanted to help, but Zuo Xiaoqing still refused to let him do it.
Everything is done,
Turn off the TV and start studying.
Although the matter at home has been resolved, Zuo Xiaoqing is still determined to pass the exam this time. Now she is only a temporary worker in the hospital. She has not even attended medical school. She was only selected and trained for a month before starting to work.
Her current wish is to become a real doctor.
If you can't pass the exam to be a doctor, you can just take the exam to become a formal nurse.
A formal nurse also needs to graduate from a technical secondary school, so she must pass the school entrance examination.
Zuo Xiaoqing studied seriously,
Lin Yijiao’s intentions,
Before I knew it, it was ten o'clock in the evening.
"Xiaoqing, I'll send you a gift back."
"I'm sorry, Brother Lin, you have to send me off so late." Zuo Xiaoqing said.
Lin Yi wanted to say, if you are afraid of trouble, don't go back, but he was afraid that he would scare the girl if he said this.
On the bicycle.
Zuo Xiaoqing grabbed Lin Yi's clothes.
"Please ask for leave tomorrow, I will pick you up, and we will go to the station together." Lin Yi said.
"Well, I'm waiting for Brother Lin."
Arrive at the entrance of the hospital.
Zuo Xiaoqing glanced at Lin Yi, said softly to Tian Jian, and trotted into the hospital and quickly disappeared.
back home,
Lin Yi was thinking about going to Huangshi tomorrow.
Since it is a door-to-door visit, you need to prepare gifts. What should you give?
souvenirs,
Rice, flour, grains and oils may be rare for ordinary people, but as the head of a factory, he really has no shortage of them.
After thinking about it, Lin Yi rummaged through the cabinet.
When I sold contraband before, I still had a batch of watches and home appliances left, a 14-inch Sony black and white TV, four or five tape recorders, more watches, quartz watches, and more than a hundred mechanical watches.
piece.
He thought about it.
Take the TV out and put it in a new box so others can't see what's inside.
I picked out two good mechanical watches, a men's watch and a women's watch, making a perfect pair.
A black and white TV and two watches, one as a holiday gift, the other as a wish to continue cooperation, and the third as a thank you to Director Lu for helping Xiao Qing with this matter.
Only by reciprocating politely can the relationship last long.
As for whether the other party needs the gift or not.
Even if Factory Manager Lu’s family has a TV and a watch, he can still give it to others. In this era, TV sets and watches are absolutely good things, and no one would have too much.
The next day.
Lin Yi called Li Xiangqian and asked him to get on the three-wheeler and pick up Zuo Xiaoqing together. As for the TV, he specially opened a space to put it in. There was no need to let Xiaoqing know about this kind of thing.
Zuo Xiaoqing had been waiting at the entrance of the hospital for a long time. When he saw Lin Yi and others coming over, he quickly got on the bus. Li Xiangqian then sent them to the long-distance bus station.
The two got on the long-distance bus.
Still sitting side by side.
The bodies stick together.
This time, Zuo Xiaoqing was no longer as shy as last time, but instead had some expectations.
The car starts,
Lin Yi leaned into the girl's ear and said, "We've been on the road for two or three hours. Do you want to study?"
"Okay." Zuo Xiaoqing nodded.
"What to study?"
"Let's learn math."
Opening the book, Lin Yi leaned close to Zuo Xiaoqing's ear and whispered to her to explain so as not to disturb others. When he encountered questions that required drawing lines and drawings, he drew pictures in the palm of the girl's hand.
When the fingers crossed the girl's palm.
The warm and white palms trembled slightly.
Just like a girl's trembling heart.
Time seemed to fly by. When the long-distance bus arrived in Huangshi, it was already afternoon. Lin Yi took Zuo Xiaoqing to the guest house.
"I have something to do tonight. Let's stay one night in Huangshi today. I'll see if I can borrow a motorcycle and take you home tomorrow," Lin Yi said.
This time Zuo Xiaoqing came back in a hurry,
She didn't have time to send a telegram to her family and ask her eldest brother to pick her up at the long-distance station in the county. She was a girl and couldn't go home even if she took the bus to the county, so Lin Yi decided to send her back, but she only needed to stay in Huangshi for one night.
"Comrade, two of us can stay here." Lin Yi said to the waiter at the window.
"Are you a couple? Do you have a marriage certificate? You can't live together without a marriage certificate." The waiter looked at the two of them and said in a cold tone.
The couplets made Zuo Xiaoqing's face feel hot.
"We are not a couple, we are colleagues. We have two rooms." Lin Yi said.
The waiter rummaged through the box and said to Lin Yi: "The women are in 204, and the men are in 208. There is already a person living on the woman's side. Watch your belongings carefully. I will not be responsible for any loss."
After saying that, he threw out two keys with aluminum plates.
The service attitude at this time was like this, and Lin Yi was already used to it.
After the two settled down, they went out to find a restaurant for dinner. Zuo Xiaoqing went back to rest, while Lin Yi went out to Factory Director Lu's house.
When we arrived outside Director Lu's house, it was completely dark. Looking around to see if there was no one around, Lin Yi took out the TV box from the space.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk~!"
Lin Yi knocked on the door.
Director Lu was surprised to see Lin Yi when he opened the door, "Brother Lin? Why are you here? You didn't even tell me in advance when you came to Huangshi."
After speaking, he quickly extended his hand.
Lin Yi smiled and shook hands with Director Lu.
"I was passing by Huangshi and was about to go to my girlfriend's house. I stopped by Brother Lu to have a look. Isn't it the Chinese New Year? I bought some souvenirs."
Only then did Director Lu see the big box next to him.
"Oh, come as soon as you come. Why do you bring anything with you? It's so out of sight. It's cold outside. Come in, come in." Director Lu called Lin Yi into the room.
Lin Yi carried the cardboard box into the house.
Factory Director Lu's wife was in the living room. When she saw a guest, she stood up to greet him. Director Lu introduced him as Brother Lin from Jiangcheng. Mrs. Lu also realized that Old Lu had told her more than once that Jiangcheng Hanzheng Street helped the factory sell overstocked children's clothing.
Lin Yi.
Mrs. Lu makes tea,
Lin Yi and Director Lu were chatting in the living room.
We talked about clothing sales, then talked about the new clothing products in the South, and finally talked about what happened at Zuo Xiaoqing's family. Last time on the phone, Director Lu just gave a rough outline, but this time he made it more clear.
"Brother Lin, your uncle seems to have returned to work at the agricultural machinery station, but if he is willing to come to the garment factory, he can just come directly after the Chinese New Year."
"Thank you so much, Brother Lu." Lin Yi thanked him.
"Brother Lu, there is one more thing I want to trouble you with. Can you help me find a motorcycle? It's a long way to go to my girlfriend's house. Long-distance buses can only go to the county town. There are still dozens of miles of dirt roads left. If there is
A motorcycle would be much more convenient." Lin Yi said.
"What kind of motorcycle do you want? I'll ask my driver to take you there tomorrow." Director Lu said angrily.
"Oh, thank you very much."
Lin Yi was about to say goodbye,
Director Lu pulled Lin Yi and asked him to take the things back, but Lin Yi refused to take them away. The two sides argued for a while and Director Lu finally gave up.
After Lin Yi left,
Director Lu was curious about what local products Lin Yi had given him. When he opened the box, he was shocked. Mrs. Lu next to her was also stunned.
"This...this...here, Xiaolin brought a TV!?"
The couple did not expect that the souvenir that Lin Yi was talking about turned out to be a television. In this era, televisions were a good thing. Director Lu's family did already have a television, but it was a 12-inch domestic one. At that time,
It also cost four to five hundred.
The one Lin Yi sent was a 14-inch one imported from Japan. Director Lu knew the goods well and knew that this TV would not cost less than 600 to 700 yuan, and sometimes it was difficult to buy it even if you had the money.
"There's something else in there."
Mrs. Lu saw two small boxes placed inside.
When I opened it, I was shocked again.
"The watch looks quite expensive," Mrs. Lu said.
Director Lu picked it up and looked at it. He knew that these two watches were not cheap. Looking at the TV and the watch, he thought that Xiao Lin was really generous. These things might cost a thousand yuan.
He thought for a while and said, "Put the TV away. My son is getting married next year. It will be just in time. I originally planned to move ours over first."
"Then keep the watch for them too?"
"Forget the watch, let's bring it ourselves. It's time for you to change to a new watch."
Factory Director Lu thought for a while, "Xiao Lin's gift is quite heavy. I'll give him some gifts in return tomorrow. Isn't he going to my father-in-law's house? When the driver passes by tomorrow, bring him some more souvenirs."
"I understand." Mrs. Lu nodded.
Lin Yi returned to the guest house, because there was someone else in Zuo Xiaoqing's room, so he couldn't disturb him any more. Studying was not something that could last only a day or two.
Go back to the house and sleep.
Sleep until dawn.
When Lin Yi got up and went out, he found Zuo Xiaoqing already waiting for him in the corridor. When the two went downstairs, they saw Factory Director Lu's driver waiting downstairs, with a clean 212 Jeep parked next to it.
Lin Yi had been to the garment factory. The driver Xiao Zhang naturally knew Lin Yi. When he saw Lin Yi coming down, he immediately went up and said, "Boss Lin, our factory director asked me to see you off. By the way, I also brought you some local specialties. Put them all away."
It’s in the trunk.”
Lin Yi didn't expect a return gift.
"Let me take a look at what's there."
Open the trunk, good guy, it's quite full.
A fifty-pound bag of Northeastern rice,
A box of malted milk contains four large barrels.
A large piece of pork will never be less than twenty kilograms.
A bucket of candies packed in tin boxes,
Two bundled snack boxes,
There is also a box of Xiaohuanghelou liquor and two large Qianmen cigarettes.
There was everything to eat, drink and smoke.
These things cost an estimated 100 yuan, and tickets are required, otherwise most people won’t be able to buy them.
Zuo Xiaoqing was filled with surprise.
That Factory Director Lu has such a good relationship with Brother Lin that he gave him so many things?
Lin Yi didn't refuse, "Okay, then I'll accept it."
The two of them got into the car with salutes in hand, and the car drove towards Zuo Xiaoqing's hometown. It is more than 50 kilometers away. If you take a bus, ride a bicycle or walk, it will naturally be difficult to walk, but it is much faster to take a car.
It took just over an hour to reach the village.
The New Year is coming soon, no one is working in the fields anymore, and every household is preparing for the New Year.
The children also had their vacation early and were running around in the village.
212 jeep enters the village,
This immediately aroused the idea of the children, and some boldly ran behind the car. When the car stopped in front of Zuo Xiaoqing's house, there were already more than a dozen children following behind.
The villagers who were gathering together and chatting on the street were all curious and eager to see the car coming. These days, only the people who can get on the car are big shots, at least the town secretary and the county magistrate.
Is there a big shot coming to the village?
Hey, I didn’t go to the village party secretary’s house.
So whose house is this going to?
Oops, it stopped in front of Zuo Laowen's house.
Many people came together,
Then I saw the rear door open. First came Zuo Xiaoqing's car. The villagers naturally knew Xiaoqing, and then a young boy in straight clothes got out. He was tall and handsome. At first glance, he seemed to have a good temperament, unlike the villagers.
There was a commotion among the villagers.
"Is this Xiaoqing bringing his uncle to the door?"
"Driving a small car and having a driver is amazing. Only the county magistrate has this style."
